Our Story and How We Got Started
York Tire & Auto Service began in 2013 with a clear focus on tire sales and customer service. At that time, the goal was simple: provide dependable tires and honest recommendations to drivers in the local community. As customer needs evolved and trust grew, it became clear there was an opportunity to do more. By 2015, the first shop location opened, and light auto repair services were added to better support customers beyond tire needs.
A Background Built on Hands-On Experience
Owner Dylan Cottrell’s journey into the automotive industry started well before opening the shop. He began working on vehicles while still in high school, gaining hands-on experience and developing a deep interest in automotive systems. After graduating in 2010, Dylan continued building his skills, which ultimately led to launching the tire business just a few years later. That early foundation of real-world experience continues to influence how the shop approaches every vehicle today.
Growing to Meet the Needs of Our Community
As York Tire & Auto Service expanded, one issue became increasingly clear: many drivers were struggling to find accurate answers to vehicle problems that other shops couldn’t resolve. In response, the shop invested in advanced diagnostic capabilities and expanded services to fill that gap. What started as tires and light repair steadily grew into comprehensive automotive service, guided by a commitment to solving problems rather than guessing at them.
Known for Diagnostics and Problem Solving
Today, York Tire & Auto Service is recognized as the go-to shop in the area for vehicle diagnostics and unresolved concerns. Customers often come to us after visiting other shops without success. Our approach focuses on careful evaluation, modern diagnostic tools, and a clear understanding of how vehicle systems work together. This allows us to identify issues accurately and recommend repairs that actually fix the problem.
A Shop Built on Trust and Continuous Improvement
York Tire & Auto Service continues to grow by staying focused on quality, education, and customer trust. From routine maintenance to complex repairs, every service is handled with attention to detail and honest communication. What started as a tire shop has become a full-service repair facility, built on years of experience, a passion for automotive work, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
